The glamour, the speed, the envious glances, the thrill of driving a supercar... and the ignominy of getting the bus home.

It's the motoring job of the century – the chance to become a supercar collection and delivery driver, with licence to handle some of the hottest cars ever built.

The downside? Each two-way journey means either a bus ride to the client's address before picking up the keys to motoring nirvana... or riding back to base from a customer's home on the train.

Applicants for the position will be expected to have a full, clean licence and at least 10 years' experience of handing high-performance vehicles. The successful candidate will be based at repairacar.co.uk's offices in Staffordshire but will have to be prepared to travel throughout the UK and Europe when collecting and delivering vehicles to customers.

"They will also be expected to make their own way back to base from any corner of the UK and Europe – using public transport," said a company spokesman.

Cars maintained through the website in the past year have included Aston Martins, Pagani Zondas, Ferrari 599s and Bugatti Veyrons. The job comes with a salary in the region of £30,000 as well as expenses including reimbursed bus and train tickets.

"This is a highly specialised role which requires a very special talent," said a spokesman for repairacar.co.uk. "We are seeking a driver who understands and has direct experience of driving some of the world's highest performing motor cars.

"Driving something like a Bugatti Veyron is a very different experience from driving a Ford Focus. The driver has to understand what's under the bonnet and how the car responds to its controls. Many of these vehicles are worth hundreds of thousands of pounds so it goes without saying that we are looking for a safe pair of hands here. This isn't a job for a boy racer.

"We are expecting to shortlist applicants with at least 10 years professional driving experience who have already clocked up many hours behind the wheel of high performance vehicles."
